Georgia Tech Research Institute Selects AAI Test & Training's A2PATS Single-Cabinet Electronic Warfare Simulator
HUNT VALLEY, MD -- (Marketwired) -- 10/25/13 -- AAI Test &
Training, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:
TXT) company, announced today that the Georgia Tech Research
Institute (GTRI) has purchased the company's Advanced Architecture
Phase Amplitude and Time Simulator (A2PATS) Single-Cabinet System for
delivery to GTRI in Atlanta.
Supporting GTRI's end-to-end approach to electronic warfare (EW) and
electronic systems development, AAI Test & Training's A2PATS is a
plug-and-play, continuously aligned simulator that enables aircraft
EW systems to precisely locate, identify and defend against virtually
all ground-based and surface-to-air missile threats. AAI Test &
Training also enhanced the system recently with a threat file
translator, allowing customers to quickly and reliably automate the
transfer of their threat file libraries from legacy systems to the
A2PATS.
"This is the same architecture we are providing so successfully to
Department of Defense EW centers of excellence for customers such as
the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy," says AAI Test and Training Senior
Vice President and General Manager Steve Mensh of AAI Test &
Training. "The A2PATS Single-Cabinet System scales and configures
this robust architecture within a more streamlined footprint and at a
more affordable price point, while continuing to offer expandability
for future requirements. It puts the power of our A2PATS technology
into every stage of the EW solution development chain, from the
services themselves to critical research organizations like GTRI."
